What is Event Catering?
Catering is the business of providing food and related services, such as decorations, furnishings, and event planning. Event caterers can be hired to provide services for a wide range of functions, such as weddings, parties, banquets, conventions, bar mitzvahs, ceremonies, luncheons, dinner parties, or sporting and outdoor events. There are two main types of catered events: off-site and on-site. Off-site Catering Off-site catering is a service in which the caterer will bring already-prepared dishes to the event, and may add finishing touches or final steps on location. For the most part, the food is already prepared before arrival. This type of service is best used for cold dishes and dishes that are easily transported without adverse effects. This method also complicates food safety and health issues, related to perishable transportation. Reputable caterers normally have no problem overcoming these problems with the use of insulated coolers, refrigerated vehicles, and/or portable heat
